The other day, with a colleague, we talked about how is the videogames
Canada's industry exploded no so long ago and how becomes successful in a short
period of time. I talk with him about the advantage of human resources to
develop the industry. You'll see, I'm from Mexico and the industry is still
young with a lack of human resources and, don't make me wrong, you can find a
lot talented people (just, stay in the credits of CG movies and you'll see), I
know colleagues just from my province that works in great places all over the
world.

What I mean is that If one company in Canada lacks of people for his team,
they just... bring someone else, no matter from where: Asia, India,
Latin-America, Europe, other Canada provinces, etc. and this benefit all

In Mexico is exactly other way around...When someone has enough experience,
there's no room to keep advancing and then you just open the possibilities
around the globe. this breaks the "know-how" flow over and over again
and the new generations must start from zero.

In Mexico exist economic resources to bring people with of experience, the Jalisco's province have
been invested a lot in the cg industry but the general vision is the same of 10
years ago. Everyone's keep thinking about "having the equipment",
build studio's campus, when at the end the thing that matters is you human
resources (with proper equipment of course), because with them you'll conquer
your objectives.

Many countries in development keep thinking about manufacturing and not in
services. With many possible IPs just resting and waiting to be used.

I really hope that the culture of "human resources" replace the
"expensive-equipment-resources with cheap employees" one day.

To conclude I left to you this with this video of J. Katzenberg,
